If you're like, well... everyone else everywhere, you're feeling the pinch of the economy. (If you're not, send me a job application for where ever it is you work!) While I know better days are on the horizon, I'm impatient and don't like post [...]

Key Lime Pie Roundup!

The Florida Keys are well known for a lot of things- Jimmy Buffet, Ernest Hemingway, drinking, gorgeous weather, drinking, fabulous fresh seafood and of course... Key Lime Pie! Being a sugar-fiend, I was determined to try as much Key Lime Pie as I could!

Just about every restaurant and bakery in the Keys serves Key Lime Pie, and they all claim to have "the best pie in the Keys!" It would be an impossible task to try every pie in the Keys- I m [...]

A Morning at Sea

Tuesday was our last day in Key West. We woke up super-early (too early for my tastes, really) to go out on a chartered sailboat. We actually got up so early, breakfast hadn't been set up at the hotel yet. I was a little irritated... I'm the first to [...]

A Day in Old Key West

Our Monday morning started in Marathon. We woke up and had breakfast, and then visited a pretty, quiet little beach (thanks to a tip from a friend). It was a beautiful morning- sunny and cool, with just a bit of a breeze. Mom looked for seashells (and w [...]

This morning, after a healthy breakfast (frosted mini-wheats, Silk chocolate soy milk, coffee and an orange), we packed up the car and left our cabin in Key Largo to head south.

Our first stop was the Florida Keys Wild [...]

A Day in the Everglades

Since we got into Coral Springs a little late (1:00a) last night, we slept a little late this morning. Well... late for my mom. 8:00ish, which is about normal for me. We ate breakfast (I had raisin bran, coffee, a Silk chocolate soy milk and a banana) and then headed out to a fabulously quirky, odd-ball attraction- Last weekend, Kyle and I made a second trip to Epcot for the International Food and Wine Festival. What can I say? I got full last time!

This time it was just a day trip- we slept in a bit and wound up gett [...]

I'm a Featured Florida Foodie!

This month at Florida Foodies Restaurant and Travel Magazine, they're featuring pumpkin recipes, and I was asked to share my recipe for Pumpkin Buttermilk Waffles! There's also a little profile on me (as well as a picture of Kyle and I in last year's Halloween costume. What were we? You'll have to click to find out!)

After you read my feature, be sure to check out the rest of the site. There's great stuff about Floridian Foodies, restaurants a [...]
